โ“ FAQs

Do I need a license to use Wholesale Whale?

  • Yes. Only licensed dealers can access the platform. Each license must be active and valid in the state you're operating in.

How is pricing determined?

  • Pricing is based on Book Value. Sellers define a range of acceptable offers (e.g., up to 10% below book) and receive only relevant offers.

Does Wholesale Whale charge listing fees or commissions?

  • No listing fees or per-sale commissions. Accounts start free and transition to a monthly subscription model after a few connections.

Can I see who I'm dealing with?

  • Not until both parties connect. The system keeps identities private until a mutual connection is made to ensure fair, deal-focused interactions.
